[Bea’s Reviews] Dracula: Prince Of Darkness (1966)
“Dracula: Prince Of Darkness (1966) Dracula- Prince of Darkness” could have failed miserably. It shouldn’t have had the right to have been made, because at heart, Hammer Horror was more about getting the green than truly entertaining it’s fans. Yet, despite these technicalities, “DPOD” really is a worthy follow-up to the it’s predecessor. While ”Brides … Continue reading

[Bea’s Reviews] Horror Of Dracula (1958)
“Horror Of Dracula” (1958) While Lugosi’s Count of Counts was generally a one-off affair, Dracula was resurrected again by Hammer Films in the formidable shape of Sir Christopher Frank Carandini Lee which turned out to become a long-running franchise full of hits and misses.
